are no longer the right height. We had a freak blizzard that came down the center of the state in early Nov. last winter, 10.5" in a 3-4hr. period of very heavy, wet snow that all but wrecked them. The oldest ones got it the worst. mittens only visited the west and east parts, so the idiot probably didn't see the destruction. But, I am pruning the bottom of my Japanese Maple today, so the bottom will be the right height.
